Hi friends, I made a winter hat for my daughter Nicolina … in black. And as I quickly discovered, black is a great color for a hat, but it’s the worst color for you to see how the stitches are. Hannah really liked the look of the black hat. When he saw it closely and personally, he wanted to learn how to knit the half double crochet stripe.

One day I played with a slip point and wondered what it would look like if I made the thread first before finishing the slip point. A braid formed on the line and I was in love! Also, the stitch was not as tight as a normal sliding stitch.
